Prosser, '16, HE College Association, although in theory it is on a level with the other associa- tions listed below, is actually the dominating force in alumni affairs on account of the fact that there are so many more graduates of the College Department than there are of other departments of the University. lt sends representatives to the Alumni Council on the basis of the number of living graduates in the College Depart- ment, thus having fourteen delegates to that body where the other associations have only three each. Its members are active in all phases of alumni work, taking leading parts in the Chicago Alumni and Alumnae Clubs and being moving spirits in the organization of alumni affairs all over the country. It will be noticed that the president of this asso- ciation is also chairman of the Alumni Council, an arrangement which has been followed for some years in order eEectively to insure co-operation between this large group and alumni of all groups in general. The Association of Doctors of Philosophy SAMUEL MACCLTNTOCK, '96 . . . President HERBERT E. SLAUGHT, '98 ....... Secretary The members of this Association are those who have received doctors' degrees from the University. They have an annual meeting and address at the time of convocation in June, and the Secretary sends a letter to every member during the year telling of the work of the other members of the Association and sending news of interest to them. Divinity Alumni Association JOHN L. JACKSON, '76 . . President WALTER P. RUNYAN, '07 ....... Secretary This association is made up of graduates of the Divinity School. It holds its annual meeting at the time of the June Convocation and is usually addressed at that time by one of its members or by some eminent speaker. Membership in any of these associations, unless otherwise noted, carries with it subscription to The University of Chicago Magazine. Law School Association WILLIAM P. MCCRACKEN, '12 . . . President R. E. SCHREIBER, '06 ........ Secretary This association is composed of graduates and former students of the Law School. Through its secretary its members are kept informed of activities of the other members, chiefly through a section in the Alumni Magazine devoted to their interests. They have occasional meetings and hold their annual meeting and election of officers in June. Mem- bership in this association, including subscription to the Magazine, is 552.00 a year, 50 cents more than the dues for the three other associations. The Law Association also publishes a directory of its members. lilllIlllIlllllKHlIllillPIllIllIllIllIllI1llllllllllllIllllllllllI1lIIllllillllllllllllIlllIllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIlVIIlIIllllllilIllUIlllllIIlllllIllllllltlIlllllIIlIllN1llllIlllIllilllllllI!lIllllllilllllllillllllllllllllllllll 1 UU W lllItlllllllllllllllIllH4lllllllllllilllIllKIlilllIllIlllllilllIlllIllillllllilllVIlllllllllllillilllIllIllIlllI1lllllIllilllllllllllllKIlillIllll!lllllllIlllIllllllIlUllllllilllIllIIlIIllllilllIlillllllIlllllilllllllIlllllllllIlllllllllllilllllllllllll lIlHillllIllIIlllllIIlVlllll!lIllllllIllItlIllIllIllPIlIIlilllIllHIlilllIllKI1lIllIllllllIIlIllllllIllIllilllIillllllllllllllllllllll IlIlllllPIUlillllllllIllIllil!lVlllI4lilllI1lIIllIllIllIlllllIllIlllIlllllllililllilllIllll!lllllllilllllllllllllllll lllllltlllllllllll IIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llIIllltllIllIlilItllllllllIlllllll!llilIIlllllIlllllIIlllllilllIllilllIIllllllllIlllllIllillIlilIllIllllllilllllllllllllIIlllllI4lIIlllllllllllllllllllllIllllllIllIllIIllI1lIllllllllllllllllllllllllll Page 21

As compared with the alumni organizations of the early colleges, this is no doubt true. In a college, where all the students are engaged in practically the same lines of study and go through the four years' work together, the result after graduation is an alumni association made up of former students who have had much the same experiences and have much in common. On the other hand, a university is made up of several groups of students, each group pursuing a line of study entirely different from and not associated with the work of any other group. At the University of Chicago the natural result has been the organization of four different alumni associations: The Law Association, the Divinity Alumni Association, the Association of Doctors of Philosophy, and the College Alumni Association. As Presi- dent Judson once expressed it in a greeting to the alumni of the University: A university is not like a consolidated state in which there is entire unity: it is rather a federation. Each group in the federation has its own affairs distinct from others. At the same time there are common alfairs, common interests, common ideals and principles, which belong to all, in which all have a common interest and in which all should co-operate. The Alumni Magazine, representing, therefore, the University as a whole, gives expression to each of the various groups of alumni and should tend to unite them as a common body for the common purposes of all. It is the organ of the united federal University. In order that they might work together to the best advantage for those things in which all were interested, the four associations organized in 1909 the Alumni Council, which is made up of delegates from all of the associations. Under the jurisdiction of the Council are the maintenance and conduct of the alumni office, the keeping of alumni records fincluding addresses and all information for the alumni directoryb, the organization of alumni clubs, the promotion of class organizations, the custody of general alumni funds, and publication of the Alumni Magazine. The Council for 1916-1917 is composed of the following members: Chairman, Scott Brown, Secretary-Treasurer, John Fryer Moulds, Assistant Secre- tary, Lawrence J. MacGregor. Delegates From the College Alumni Association: Mrs. Martha L. Thompson, Helen Sunny McKibbin, John Fryer Moulds, Albert W. Sherer, Alice Greenacre, Harold H.

What form that organization will take no one at present can say. The natural arrangement would be one similar to that of the other professional schools, with a separate organization in itself and delegates to the General Alumni Council. The details of the combination can be worked out only after it is known what the arrange- ments will be with the alumni of Rush Medical College, but it is certain that in whatever form it may be, it will bring a welcome addition to the present alumni body. Chicago Alumnae Club MRS. M. A. HIRSCHL, ,IO ....... President MRS. HAZEI. Horr KEEFER, '12 . . . Treasurer ISABEL JARVIS, '12 ......... Secretary N ITS relation to general alumni affairs, the Chicago Alumnae Club is the same form of organization as might be effected in New York, Kansas City, Tulsa, Oklahoma, or any- where else where there are enough women graduates of the University to form a sep- arate body. Its members are largely members of the College Association, although it is open to members of the other three associations who may live in Chicago, and it sends delegates to the Alumni Council because it is a strong and influential body in alumni affairs. To dispose of the Chicago Alumnae Club so shortly, however, would not be doing it justice, because it is without doubt one of the two or three most active local clubs organ- ized by graduates of the University. A resume of its organization and activities was published in The University of Chicago Magazine for February, 1917, an explanation being given of each of its varied forms of activity. The Club was organized in 1898, and from that time up to the present has steadily grown, until now it has a paid-up membership of 250 and a mailing list of 350. Recently the Club has reorganized to a certain extent in order that all of its members may pay their general association dues to the treasurer of the Club at the same time the Club dues are charged and so at one time join both the club and association. Such an arrangement has obvious advantages, and it is hoped that in time the confusion between local clubs and general associations will be cleared away. The Alumnae Club has a number of varied activities, the one best known to under- graduates probably being the club Renting Library, with its quarters in Harper Memorial Library. Since 1908 the Club has undertaken a fellowship to the University Settlement children's clubs and a student in the University. Another work supported by the Club is that done by the Chicago Collegiate Bureau of Occupation, which is in part financed by the alumnae organizations of various colleges. The Club has two delegates to the governing board, and in the past year was well up in the list of contributors to the Bureauls Fund. On the social side the Club regularly holds four meetings a year-one in October at the University, one during the Christmas holidays at which the members of the Club who have been out of town during the Fall gather, a tea given in January by the President and Mrs. Judson, and the annual meeting of the Club for the transaction of business. At present the Alumnae Club acts as a committee in charge of the annual June break- fast to all women 'who return for the reunion at the end of the Spring Quarter. On February 24th of this year the Club held a special reception in lda Noyes Hall for the Chicago alumnae associations of nineteen colleges and universities. From time to time it directs various entertainments, notable among them having been the Spring Revels in 1913 at the Whitney Opera House. Its members were influential in the movement which culminated in the building of Ida Noyes Hall, and at present the Club offers a wide and useful field of activity for all women graduates of the University in and about Chicago. willllIllllllilllilllillllllilllllllIIllIllIIlllllIllIllilllIIllIllilllIllllllIllIllIllilllIllIIllllllllIIlIlllllllIIlilllllllIllIlllllllllIflIIlIIllllllllIIllIllllllIllIIlilllllllllIIlIIlIIlIIlllllllllllIIlllllIIlllllIllIllIIllllilllllllllllllllllllllllll '77 Q 11 llllIIlIIlIIlilllIllIllillllllIllIlllllIllIlllllIllIllIlllllIllIlllllllllIllllllIlllllIllllllllIllllKIlilllllilllllllllIIlillilllIllIlllllIllllllllllllllllilllllilllllllllllllllllllllllilllillIIlIllIllIllllllllltllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllIllilllllillllllllllIIlllllIllIIlilllIlllllllllIIlIllllllllllIIlIlllIllIlllIllIllIIlIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllIllIllIllIIlllllIllIIlllllIllIIlllllIIlllllIIlilllIIlIIlilllllllllllllllllllllIIlIlllIIlilllIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllll iii Q lllillIllllllIlllllllllIllIllIllIllIIlillIIlillIllIIlIllIllIIlillllllIIlllllllllllIllIllIllIllllilllllIIllllllllIllllllllillIlllllllllI4lllllllllIllIllIIlIIlllllIIlIllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllIlilllllllllIIlIIlllillIIIllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllll Page 22
